To be without having to.

In 1975 we drove with a bus full of altar boys, a chaplain and two handfuls of group leaders for three weeks from the Lower Rhine to South Tyrol, which at that time was still a bit of the Eifel of the Alps, cheap and wild. A mixture of farm and youth hostel, a little above the slope but far below the peaks, this farm looked like a painting. In your luggage 50 DM pocket money, a set of soccer jerseys, ketchup, Nutella and lots of balls - everything you need when you are away from home in order not to have to do without home.

So there we stood and sounded out the situation, area and possibilities. There were forests, streams and every meadow were sloping, football seemed impossible. We neutralized the first-class South Tyrolean cuisine, at the time still ignorant, with Nutella and ketchup - but a slope with a gradient, how should that work?

Today, 46 years later, the sloping meadow seems to equal the insignificance of the tickets to be sold for the upcoming festival season. Traumatized by the things that do not work, we have completely lost sight of the possible. Perhaps we have even lost the original impetus of our departure back then in the quantitative successes and the resulting expectations of the past decades.


Revision - reduction – revolution

We then think the whole thing the other way around, accept an economic black eye and take care of the art of encounter, telling stories and the warming exchange with musical enthusiasm. We turn our village into Europe, the gardens into the diverse cultures of our continent and walk through the possible, small, permitted world without losing our diversity. Before we split the atom, let's get the molecule back on its feet. It will be colourful, loud and quiet. It will taste good and you will see and feel again from August 12th to 14th, 2021 in Haldern on the Lower Rhine.

You will then hear and see which artists will all embark on the journey to our little Europe in the country, it will be a musical surprise bag and renaissance of the origins of this festival. The sloping meadow is playable, all you need is a reason, a ball and of course the joy of doing it again and again.
